My father received a government quarter when the mine closed, but for the past 12 years, a local bully and his family have been living there illegally, without paying rent or any agreement. We filed a police complaint, but they just demanded money from the goon and told him to leave. Now, the bully has filed a case against my father, claiming he pays rent and has proof of residency. The court case has dragged on for 8 years with no progress. Our lawyer doesn’t communicate with us but always demands his fee. What can we do now?

You can file a complaint against your lawyer for professional misconduct and lack of communication. Additionally, you can seek a change of lawyer and consider approaching a higher court to expedite the case against the bully. You should also explore options for seeking legal aid or pro bono assistance.

My parents got married in 1991 and I was born the next year. Sadly, they divorced in 1994 and my father passed away in 2000. My mother remarried in 1998, and I live with her. I am now 23 years old. My grandmother owns all the property, but she registered it in my uncle’s name, not mine. Can I still claim my father’s property? Do I have any rights to it?

My family follows Hindu customs. My father owned three properties. He gifted the first to my wife a long time ago, and the second to my brother just before he passed away. My brother has never been a good son, and he and his wife even mistreated my parents. They never helped my parents when they were sick or needed support. Now that my father has passed, my mother lives alone in the third property, which was acquired by my father himself. Can my brother still claim a share in this last property?

If a boy’s maternal uncle’s daughter is considered a Sapinda according to Hindu Law? I need some clarification on this. Could you please advise?

My mother receives a yearly pension of 3 lakhs and will be living with my brother. How should we fairly divide the settlement amount among us?
